Sir Why You Little

So contact Ron Personally in private & Find out where it is Rather than airing the story on a public Forum. Ime sure a few Journalists keep there eyes on these Forums to help fill up the daily papers & Blogs. Its possible that if you handed the jumper over to Ron without a written Document that you Forfieted any further rights to it. But Sort it out with Ron, Now. He's getting old so don't waste time. If the jumper no longer has a number on its back it will be harder to trace.

Tanking exists we all know it. The AFL and KB are the only people to deny it. Mark Riley Coached us in Round 22 Last year and a week later was at Carltank with Kriuzer in tow. Would have been a very handy player this year. One day Demetrio will admit that he was WR WR WR WRO WRONG and that the Draft system is a disgrace in its present Form.

Why the sudden interest in the fortunes of the Tigers? Those who spit on coaches shall never receive any sympathy from me They still believe they are one of the "Power Clubs" of the AFL, sure didn't look like it last sunday Arvo. Seems to me they are in a far worse position than ourselves, as a good half of that team shall retire within 2-3 years. Finishing 9th again will just make them more average-good. Looking forward to Round 22

Ime sure these matters are top priority at present in conjunction with the Debt Demolition Month. Gaining Sponsorship could be Jimmy's greatest assett. He presents so well in the Community. Testiment to that is now that our membership is just under 30,000

Contact Ron Personally before you take this any further. Ronald Dale was part of six Flags at this club. Tread Carefully where you go, maybe you should have delivered the Jumper to the club personally. Involving a 3rd person always makes things a little more blurry....

I would love to have 2 Aboriginal brothers playing on our forward line. They would have special communication. I remember the Krakour Brothers well, They were awesome. Certainly worth serious consideration if it comes up..

Were we at the same game?

I agree with you but i think this problem must be addressed and not hought of as negative and swept under the carpet. If our club had a stronger Fabric TJ would have seen a flag. At present why would a young recruit want to play for melbourne. Like when Nathan Buckley spent a year at the bears (coz he had to) but was always heading to collingwood. That's what we have to get to. It's why Judd chose Carlton over us even though melbourne was his team as a kid. That killed me, i actually shed a tear at that press conference. Carlton those lousy stinking cheats will win a flag within 5 years at this rate-IT SHOULD BE US!!!

How Much of Fitzroy lives on through the Brisbane Lions??? Bugger all that's how much. A Dead Fitzroy Carcas was put on the back of a ute & Driven to Brisvegas back in the '90's. If The M.F.C ever was forced to re-locate then it would cease to be the Melbourne Demons Period. And The A.F.L. would never get another cent out of me...K.B i think i disagree with everything that spews from his little righteous mouth. "The one who ith never wrong" i Hated him when he played!!! so much

Richmond have not held any respect since 1982, There position is very similiar to ours (Which is probably what worries me) Wallace has done Bugger all to gain respect in 4 years, and i am sure he has worked hard to try. Don't think for a moment i am walking away from this club, but Last Friday i spent about $100 getting to & From the Game, Food Drinks etc and i will not accept that effort. Football is a tough Contact Sport and the players are well paid to cover that. They know what is in store for them. The Bottom line is "what was said & Done behind closed Doors at Kardinia Park over the off season of 2006-7" whatever it was, it worked

I will clap my team when i know they have given there all for our great Jumper, By applauding that performance last friday you are saying it is acceptable, that i cannot agree with. This is not a new problem. The First Game of the Demons i watched was Round 1 1971 against South Melbourne, we killed 'em. But in all that time Melbourne have never been Feared. I can cop a loss, like the week before- the Team had a real crack, But not Friday night. That was Prime Time around Australia. Game started at 7.05 white Flags Raised by 7.10 This is not a new Problem at all. Its just never been properly addressed

McLean should be captain or co captain with Miller. Bailey made a big mistake allowing Neitz to hold on to the captaincy he shouldn't make the same mistake again.

In the 2000 GF we were totally outclassed and uncompetitive. Sadly that's what other clubs and supporters remember. 1983 Essendon got done by Hawthorn by some 83 points (A huge Margin) but came back to win Back to Back in 84-5. against Hawthorn. They Did not accept losing. In 2001 we fell in a big hole. Why?

To be Honest i do not know the exact figure, but i do know that when Carlton were sniffing hard for him a few years back he was put on a very comfy wicket. If my assumption is way off i apologize but my point is that from now on we need to get at least some value for many of our signings, yes it's a contact sport and looking into the Future Crystal Ball is not possible. I wish all players were on no more than 2 year deals-Keep them Hungry & Striving. Long Contracts make for Fat more lazy cats. Alistair Lynch was an exception not the rule!

I did see yor point, but with all respect i don't agree with it. A football season is for 22 weeks and finals. To get in a winning position and fall over near the line is no way to earn respect. It's happening to the Bulldogs right now and i don't respect them. They will be out of the Finals in straight sets.

Exactly! And the club has been paying 100% of the salary Cap. Adem Yze is being payed 450k to represent Sandy FFS and people wonder why our club is regarded as a joke. Things Must Change & Fast

2004 Round 18 we were on top of the ladder. What Happenned after that? We Choked and lost everything there on and were out week 1 of the Finals. Not Good Enough. 2006 we lost to Carlton TWICE when they were absolute Crap. That's weak and Not Good enough Is it our Facilities? Do our Guys do enough weight Training? I like Brad Green but Friday night he got Murdered when it was a perfect time for him to go flat out. He was pushed out of the way like a schoolboy.

That's my point though. Even our Best 22 still does not have that Win at all costs Culture. Last Year Round 5 Geelong Found it. After 44 Years of Being "The Hand Bags" Geelong changed. Whatever they discovered we to must find it

There were people on level 2 MCC near where i was sitting Clapping the team at the end of the Game. That's what i call accepting mediocraty! I was appalled at that. Friday was unacceptable. I agree with Brock McLean as Capt after reading he Donated 10 G's of his own cash to the Cause. That is serious committment.

Friday night confirmed what i already know. Yes we have a great History but it is too long ago and holds no relevance to the club at present. The Melbourne Football club do not know the Culture of winning. For the first four and a half minutes of last fridays game we were competative (I was watching the clock) but as soon as Geelong kicked the First Goal-the game was over, we as a team waved the white Hanky. I have never seen it come out so early. It's been so long since we have tasted Success that we as a club don't know how to do it. Sure we win the odd game, Have the odd good season (Tease) but when the Heat is really on, and success is on the line-we lose. John Northey was the closest coach to try and instill a "Winning Culture" into the club, But for even he the closest was a 96 point Thrashing in the '88 GF. Hawthorn treated us with Disdain that day, just as Geelong did on friday night. Sadly at Present we are viewed in the Same way as Fremantle by opposition Supporters, that being NO RESPECT. Just like St.Kilda on Saturday night. Collingwood should have been thrashed with what happened during the week and with the team that played out there. But the Filth have Pride, st.kilda don't and they like us don't know how to win when expected. How do we get rid of this Mediocre culture? For us to survive and prosper we need to be playing like North Melbourne. Flying under the radar and winning. Building respect ever so slowly. Melbourne Sides need to go out onto the grass against anyone and anywhere, expecting to win and accepting nothing less. We had it 60 years ago can we get that Mojo Back? Can Jim Stynes & Co with Bails do it?

I work for ABC TV and actually logged all the Highlights for the Swan Districts South Freo Game last Thursday. I watched it Closely as i realised Natanui was Playing. He is a GREAT Tap Ruckmen-Trully Looks like a Spider onthe Ground-Tall Skinny. He has Talent but looks to me to be very Raw-And would need to bulk up A LOT. before he could impose Himself on the AFL-That Being My First Impression. Personally I would be looking at Jack Watts as we so badly need a CHF to work with Miller. But Natanui is sure an interesting proposition.

If you think Col was one of our best Tonight well we got a long way to go

This Team was intimidated tonight. That's what happened. I last saw it in the '88 Granny. That culture is still there. We never impose against a top side NEVER. Since NORM SMITH WAS SACKED...Dammit.

Had a crack in Patches-Exactly. That's all Col ever does, when he feels like it. He is mentally not tough enough to play 4 Q's...

This team has got to be worked hard. The same way John Kennedy put a rocket Through Hawthorn in the Late '50's. Hard Tough Training. Yes Geelong are a Great Side, But Melbourne was intimidated & I will not stand for that. These Guys earn Big Coin & as such i expect them to earn it.
